"'Love, The Fantom'" John Fitch IV Column

"'Love, The Fantom'" John Fitch IV Column

In this John Fitch IV column, Cormier shares a time when he saw a large, strong man and his very young daughter. The man said that the girl was his 'guardian.' Cormier considers that idea here - unpacking what it means to view your children as your guardians - "The guard us from selfishness, from the emptiness of boredom, from the terror of loneliness." He then includes a scene where his daughter's playfulness brightens a weary day.
